Are You Ready For Some Football??

It is a little after 4pm, and the animals are fed dinner.... the chickens are closed for the night...I probably won't open them tomorrow... and then I can finally go watch my much Loved NY Giants...if they win this one they have a spot in playoffs....Jets lost, but they are ok....

We will be all tucked in, the house is warm, the animals are fed, although the horse ( a Vermont breed...) is standing outside her stall covered in snow right now...it is how she likes it...( and I will still have one more hay feeding later tonight..maybe I will make it a little earlier).

I didn't ask her to pose..she had her nose in the bucket...nothing can tear a mare away from her food....

White out!

I am making soup tonight, with a grated home made noodle. It is generally a chicken soup, but I am using a turkey stock I had in the freezer. It is flavored with nutmeg and served with a Parmesan/Romano mix of cheeses. My grandmother made it all the time...

About Me

This is my first blog.
Like most people I have suffered losses, and triumphs. Our family was hit with the loss of my husband, and the boys father, 8 years ago, and then in short succession, my parents, within a year of each other, and a life changing head injury to my brother-in-law of 48 year,(he was in our family since he was 17 years old, since my sister was 15....he will never be the same and we Love him dearly) all within 5 1/2 years of my husband.
We raised children, (2 sons who were homeschooled), organic gardened since 1971, Love animals, especially horses, raise chickens, Love camping, and all things natural, gardening flowers and food, art, and trying to live as frugal as we can...
I have been cooking since I was 7 (interested since I was 5), Love most all music (all different types) and dancing (but won't sing in front of anyone anymore...)
I Love books and learning and the best part is the sharing...
Join me in my search for my True North...as I come out of the fog..and decide if we should sell and move... maybe it is your journey too.
